Sharon, I just finished Watermark by Vanitha Sankaran. Bloody Brillant!! Thank you for the recommendation!
Happy Birthday, Sharon! Hope you've been having a good one.(It's Beth, by the way, I've been tinkering with my profile today.)
Thank you so much for the friend request! I absolutely LOVE your books (as does everyone else in the European Royalty group)!
